Chapter 1095: Alone
February 18, the second solar term after the beginning of spring, rain.
A few light grains of rain were sprinkled in the sky, and there was a saying that 'good rain knows the season, when spring happens', which is extremely beneficial to the crops that have just fallen in the fields.
Outside Chang'an City, people were staggering.
Today is a very important day, as early as a few days ago, it was known all over the city: King Wu Zhao, who pacified the world, will return to Beijing today.
Ten miles outside the gate of the city of Weiqiao, all the civil and military officials are all in place, and even the Son of Heaven took the royal drive from the palace to pick up the wind and wash the dust for King Wuzhao.
The two brothers Lu Zhen and Lu Xiao also arrived early, and behind Lu Zhen stood Guo Huai, Sun Yi, Wang Xiang and others, and on the left and right of Lu Xiao were Cao Jun, Huang Xu, Han Long, and the generals of the Montenegrin Army such as Zheng Gu and Zhang Qingniu.
In the middle of the two brothers are Lu Lingqi and Sun Shangxiang, although she has no official position, but standing here, no one dares to come out and say no.
In the Lu family's mansion, the servants came and went, busy, and full of joy.
After chanting the sutra in the early morning, Yan Wei changed into the dress she only wore during the festival, her hair was pulled up on her head, and she sat in the lobby, her eyebrows and eyes were relaxed, and she finally put down a big stone in her heart.
In another small garden in the house.
A graceful and luxurious woman sits in front of the dresser, and the reflection in the bronze mirror is a beautiful face that charms all beings.
"Madame, you are so beautiful!" The maidservant who combed the woman's hair looked a little stunned.
"The king is coming back today, I should welcome him in the best condition, and I will never lose to the yellow-faced woman in the house!" The beautiful woman's tone was firm, with a rare hint of jealousy.
"The eldest lady is old, and you are the most beautiful woman in the world. Later, when the king sees you, Madame, he will definitely not be able to take his eyes off! ”
"Hehehehehe......"
The beautiful woman showed her face, and there was a cheerful laugh in the small garden.
Around noon, there were scouts coming to report quickly.
"Report ~ King Wu Zhao's army has passed the tomb, only twenty miles away from Weiqiao."
"Report ~ King Wu Zhao's army has crossed Bashui, less than ten miles away from Weiqiao......"
"Report ~ King Wu Zhao's army has arrived five miles away......"
Hearing that the army was less than five miles, Lu Xiao couldn't hold back any longer, went straight out of the column, walked to the side, and then took a horse from the hands of the soldiers, turned over, and shouted with his friends: "Go, let's pick up my father!" ”
Cao Jun, Han Long and others followed, and they also turned over and got on their horses.
"Brother, wait for me!"
Lu Lingqi saw it, and also led a horse and followed.
More than a dozen riders rushed straight forward, kicking up a cloud of smoke and dust.
Seeing this, the officials in the court who were attached to Lu Zhen were afraid that Lu Zhen would fall behind, so they hurriedly came up with an idea: "Prince, you should go too!" Don't let the little boy get ahead of the curve! ”
"Lord Yushi is right, it's better for you to hurry up, so that you can also show a filial piety in front of the king!"
"We're waiting here, eldest prince, you'd better hurry up!"
Some have even taken the initiative to bring the horses over.
In the final analysis, most of the officials in Chang'an City are supporting Lu Zhuan, after all, this eldest prince is very intelligent, and he is the eldest son, so he must be the best candidate to inherit Lu Bu's career in the future.
Therefore, they all thought about hugging Lu Zhen's thighs first.
"Me? Forget it. ”
Facing the ardent expectations of his supporters, Lu Zhen couldn't help but be a little discouraged.
The reason for this is known only to him.
After Bashui, Lu Bu walked ahead, talking and laughing with Guo Jia and others beside him.
The topics discussed have nothing to do with military politics, but are nothing more than the shortcomings of some parents, such as whether the two sons have grown much taller, and whether the little bell is still as naughty as when he was a child......
I didn't go far when I heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of me.
Looking at it, it was Lu Xiao who rode there with more than ten people.
"Daddy, I'll pick you up!" Lu Xiao slid off the horse, his body was straight and straight, and he said with a smile, calling Lu Bu 'Daddy' as always, and there was no barrier between father and son.
"You stinky boy!"
Seeing his son grow up a lot, Lu Bu was very relieved on his face, and he scolded with a smile from the bottom of his heart.
"Daddy!"
Lu Lingqi also shouted, her eyes were red, she didn't know, she thought she was bullied by someone.
"My little bell is so beautiful, I don't know which kid will be cheaper in the future!"
"Daddy......"
Lu Lingqi snorted, and her expression was a little embarrassed.
"Hahaha......"
The daughter was embarrassed, but Lu Bu, who was a father, laughed heartily.
"I've seen the king!"
Cao Jun and the others behind Lu Xiao dismounted to salute.
Lu Bu nodded, looked carefully, but still didn't see Lu Zhang's figure, and couldn't help but wonder: "What about Zhu'er?" ”
It stands to reason that Little Bell and Man'er are here, and Lu Zhen, as the eldest son of the Lu Mansion, has no reason not to come.
"He's still waiting at Weiqiao!"
Lu Xiao said unconcernedly.
Lu Bu nodded slightly, but did not ask again, and led the army to continue forward.
Lu Xiao and others naturally joined the team.
"Little man, I haven't seen you for a few years, and your body is getting stronger and stronger." Ma Chao and other generals laughed and joked.
In the end, they fought together, and Lu Xiao didn't have anything to do with them, grinning and saying: "That's natural, if I don't work hard, how will I defeat you one by one in the future?" ”
"Oh, did you hear it, this kid's tone is crazy!"
Ma Chao laughed, not taking it to heart.
The other generals were also smiling, the two sons of the Lu Mansion, they were also the most optimistic about this second son.
"Rumors say that the second son is stupid and stupid, I look at him, but he is quite smart!" Jia Xu's eyes flashed a little back, and he quietly muttered in his heart.
The army arrived at Weiqiao.
The long trumpets blew and the beating drums thundered.
"I'll see the king!" The civil and military officials all bowed and saluted.
The only one who did not bow down was the Son of Heaven who was driven by the emperor.
Lu Bu urged him to step forward and arched his hand towards the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, Lu Bu, please see Your Majesty!" ”
Looking at the man who bowed slightly in front of him, Liu Xie actually didn't want to speak, but now that everyone was present, and Lu Bu was holding heavy troops, he didn't dare to tear his face, so he could only say something high-sounding: "Lu Qingping, over the years, you have made great contributions to the south and north of the Han Dynasty and swept away the traitors, and I also remember it in my heart." ”
"It is the duty of a minister to drive away thieves for the Han Dynasty."
After greeting each other for a while, Lu Bu looked at the people who came to greet him.
In the crowd, there are mostly familiar faces, Yang Biao, Chen Gong, Yang Ting, Hua Xin, Du Ji, Wang Lang, Sima Fang......
However, there is only one person missing.
